Hitman 3 PC performance proves there might just be some fine wine in AMD's RX 6800 XT
The first big game of 2021 gives us a chance to check out the classic AMD vs. Nvidia head-to-head, and highlights what VRS can deliver in a real game.
VRS is a relatively modern GPU feature—though it was first introduced in 2019—which essentially allows a game to select different levels of fidelity actually within the shading of a scene. There are two tiers listed for VRS, Tier 1 and Tier 2.
There has long been a bit of a stigma to AMD's GPU drivers, but they've played a blinder here, so is this a taste of what is to come with new games coming out this year?
